Frequent on-off service Processes where the ''instantly'' large flow is needed.
LIMITATIONS
Cannot be used for pressure control
Cavitate at low pressure drops
Cannot be used for throttling
ADVANTAGES
High Capacity
Tight Shutoff
Low Cost
Little resistance to flow
GATE VALVE
SALIENT FEATURES
STEM NUT
Usually made of ASTM A439 D2, for large size of valves rolling bearing is fitted at the two sides of the stem nut in order to minimize the open and close torque of valve.
HANDWHEEL
Handwheel or Gearbox is usually used for gate valve actuation. The chain wheel, pneumatic cylinder, and electric actuator can be also used for the valve actuation if being requested by customer.
